Scratch removal before ripping

Has anyone bought one of those tools that you load the CD into and it supposedly removes the scratches from the CD? I found a great store with used CD's that sells the CD's so cheap it's crazy...and they seem to have everything. I've been luck so far that none have been scratched but I'm sure it will happen soon.

So, if anyone has used this does it degrade the sound quality before ripping? I wouldn't think so but figured I would ask first.

Thanks

Although I keep all of my CD's in pristine condition I use optrix spray on most of the DVD's that I get from Netflix. Many of them arrived so scratched up as to be unplayable. Optrix has salvaged almost all of them!

Huh, toothpaste. I'm sure it works well But Is there a sonic difference between Colgate and Crest? I'll have to do some AB-ing and let ya'll know my findings. One thing for sure, my disc will have fresh breath and no cavities! Sorry I just could help myself! LOL!

I use the Maxell Disc Scratch Repair Kit (also has a cleaner
spray)before I rip a CD. $8 @ Walmart. It does work.

I just used my Maxell disc cleaner, the one with micro bristles.  My Marantz 6006 CD player said, not recognizable, before, but played after using the cleaner disc.  This is for the lenz, not the disc.  If a disc wont play I am trying my Mcguires cleatr plastic polish.  I suspect that will work well.
